I am going to be getting enough money for a new PC soon and i was able to come up with this build i am looking for great gaming and video editing/rendering out of it hence the i7-3770k instead of a i5 2500k also i was hoping in the future other things would take advantage of multithreading

i was hoping to see if u guys thing its a good build and was wondering if anyone would have some feed back on this system i will be building my selfthis will be the 1ST system i build my self so i am hoping it will be a good experience

I would not go on a 60 GB SSD for what I presume is a boot drive, 128 seems to be the sweet spot and if that falls a bit too high in your budget than 90 would be better but 60 is not enough. If it is a cache drive then you want to look more like 30 GB.

i think u might be right just going with a 30 GB for a cache drive but i am still wondering if i can fit windows 7 on it cause iv read some things where some people get diffrent spaces with it but i guess it matters what windows 7 they get cause id really like to have windows 7 on the ssd then everything elts on the HDi might also put like google chrome and some small stuff on the ssd just to make it open a bit faster

Rishiswaz is correct, 128gb is the "sweet spot" for an SSD. With this, you're sure to have enough space for the OS and a handful of your favorite games and programs. The OS gets bigger from time to time. You'll have trouble with a 30-60gb SSD.Also, the Agility 3 is a bad SSD line.

This is the first I've heard of Azza Hurrican, but it's casing and I usually leave that to the end user.

Raidmax has a bad reputation for PSUs, please reconsider other reliable manufacturers.

The 7950 w/ BIOS boost performs on par with the GTX 670 and it's cheaper.

Thanks for that it did help i went and watched some bench marks with the 7950 and its only like 2-5 fps diffrence with a 660 Ti couldent find the 670 but its easily the better deal for around 100$ less

Those benchmarks were probably done during the 7950's early days. The recent BIOS boost to it has given it a considerable performance upgrade.

thank u sooo much this was really helpful but i wont have the money for this build until sometime in January so prices might drop some more also if i might change the case but other then that everything on here looks great just need to find some nice headphones with a good mic now

You would be better off making a new thread here again when you have the cash and near your date of purchase.Prices and new technology changes so fast, the components we recommend now will most likely change in a while.
